ment this morning when the stage ar
rived with the news that it. and the
stage going to the railroad had been
held up and the mail rifled aud the
passengers robbie by masked man
about thirty miles from town in
Nichols pasture. From an ac-
count of the robbery given
by one of the passengers,
seems that the robber who had red
handkerchief tied over his face, COM
manded the driver to stop, and then or
dcred the passengers out, handing
each of them as they got out a
rough sack. made of slicker, which
he told them to Place over their heads.
This having been obcyed by the seven
men who occupied the stage, he stood
them in row and proceeded to take
possession Of their valuables. The
names of the passengers were: f..
\ Kaufman of Galveston, from whom
he got $3.50; Charles Duffy drum
mer, $50; j. G. Raas merchant of this
city,$50; j. N Taylor lawyer OF San
Antonio, amount from him unkno Vn;
Tom Latimer. Brownwood, amount
unknown; p. z. Preston, st. Louis $50;

satisfied with releavng them of all
they had, he kept them standing there
three hours until tho stage rom

treated these in the same manner, not
however, with the same sue

ssIurlbcrt 81, and from Tom
Sanderson 50. While waiting
for the passengers to put on the sacks,
the robber seemed very much excited,
and waived his pistol up and down the
row and in very uncomfortable man
nner to those in front of it. He cut
open the mail sucks on the stage going
to Ballinger and from the registered
letters got 500, hut did not succeed in
finding anything worth molcsting in
the registered matter coming this way.
One of the passengers begged him not
to take all he had, SO the rob.
Der gave him what he thought
to be dollar. On counting his
money. however, before leaving he
found he was 800 short and he made

No Business Done on New Yorks
Great Wharfs.
All Ocean Travel is to be stopped by the
Strikers.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Business on the
river front this morning is almost com.
pletely at standstill, and, with the excep-
tion OF small amount OF freight being
moved by green hands ON one or two piers,
little work has been done on the docks Of
the principal steamship companies since
the strike Of the longshoremen commenced.
The strikers are confident that they will
succeed and gain their demands. Their
next move will be TO get the pilots on the
ocean steamer service TO come out. The
pilots are organized and should the order
go out for them to quit work, the strikers
hope to stop all transatlantic steamers
from sailing in or out Of port. This, the
union men claim, will compel the steam
ship companies to come to terms. At the
National Line dock this morning sixty
men, who were picked up from various
sources, were laid of as they were incom-
petent. The wyoming was being un-
loaded by non-union men and the sailors
OF the vessel The latter are paid thirty
cents per hour in addition TO their pay as
seamen. The green hands were imme-
diately taken in charge by members of the
'Longshoremen's Union and were organ
lied and became part Of the strikers union.

HALIFAX, Jan, 2'.-Hon. NJ. s. Phelan,
United States Consul General, does not be-
lieves the Canadian authorities will act so
harshly again as they did last season, and
is Of the opinion that orders will be issued
TO commanders OF cruisers to give moro
freedom to American fishermen. He is
partly led to hold this belief by the decided
front presented by Congress, which he
considers will have the effect of showing
Canada that the United States do not in
tend To be trlfed with. While nobody cx-
poets warlike conflict, the public gcner-
ally are now giving more serious attention
to the attitude OF the United States Con-
gress on the fisheries question.

SHOOTS FIVE MILES.
Great Things Predicted Of the Final TriI
of the Atlanta.


NEW YoRK, Jan. 81. = When tho steel
cruiser Atlanta goes out on the third and
fnal trial trip, the last Of next week, II will
assume for the first time the dignity Of u
fully equipped man-of-war. The guns will
be placed in position this week. Among
the guns which belong TO the equipment
are two OF twenty flour feet in length with
an eight-inch bore. II costs the Govern
ment $50 TO fire one OF these guns, owing
partly TO the fact that very expensive
powder, which can be obtained only 10
Germany, is used. The projectiles for
these guns are also obtained from Cor
many. They weigh 800 pounds, go at the
rate OF 1000 feet per second and explode
on striking. These two big guns shoot &C
curately q distance of FIVE miles. ,rhe
guns are all made at the ordnance depart
ment OF the Washington navy yard, and
wero tested ut tho Annapolis proving
grounds. In order 10 satisfy the demands
Of the Government the Atlanta must show
an average speed OF sixteen knots fo' six
consecutive hours and $500 horse pc wer.
On the last trip seventeen knots an hour
were made for the required time, bui only
1850 horse over could be shown. Binco

The New Process Used Mt the Burial 81
David II. Thomas at Niagara Falls.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 90.-The funeral OF
David H. Thomas, late Superintendent OF
the Erie railroad, took place at Suspension
Bridge this afternoon. A delegationtof
Buffalo people, including the board Of
health, were present 10 witness the new
antiseptic process OF ''cementationn which
the remains were TO be treated to. The
grave was sixteen inches larger each
way than usual. Eight inches Of cement
were then put in the open grave,
and the outer case was lowered so as TO
set squarcly upon the cement, leaving q
small trench eight and half inches wide
about the case, the upper surface Of It be-
ing eight inches lower than the surface Of
the ground. The trench was then filled
with cement and the casket lowered into
the cGse. Tho cover was screwed on and
eight inches more Of cement placed over 1t,
bringing the surface of the cement level
with the ground. The process produced q
favorable impression on the spectators.
The process by which il was at first pro-
posed TO bury the body was TO place fne
sulphur and powdered charcoal, with alco
hol between the casket and outer case.
Then setting FIRE to 1t, screw the lid on, the
object being TO absorb all liquids in the
body and neutralize the gas arising from
the body. The gas generated by the burn
ing sulphur would prevent decomposition.
Among other advantages this form Of
burial secures is its protection from grayc
